Hi Knute; Thank you. It may seem obvious but I wasn't sure if that would also change the notes and other aspects as well. I will experiment with this and see if she likes the new output better. Thanks, Ken On Thu, Sep 15, 2022 at 5:03 PM Knute Snortum wrote: > On Thu, Sep 15, 2022 at

Hi; Perhaps I'm not searching the Lilypond documentation wisely, but I do not see a way to enlarge the entire Lilypond output in scale (staff, notes, text, everything). Perhaps I have to modify the pdf itself? If so, does that decrease the clarity/precision of the presentation? I'd like
